If you live on or around Georgia Avenue, or are interested in issues there, here's a rundown of upcoming community meetings compiled by the Georgia Avenue Community Development Task Force. Check them out!

The Main Streets sounds particularly interesting, the idea is to form a group to help local businesses, much like Adams Morgan Main Street and others.
